According to Ellen Mueller’s website, on a long piece of paper attached to the wall at Marioni’s walking height, he created multiple lines by attaching colored pencils to his waist and walking along the length of the paper. This process resulted in wavy, layered lines.

Walking Drawing exemplifies Tom Marioni’s long-standing interest in merging drawing with performance. In this work, Marioni uses the simple act of walking as a mark-making process, transforming movement through space into a visual record. The drawing emerges through his repeated path along the wall, allowing the line to accumulate over time as both a physical trace and a documentation of duration.
